About Us

Our violin shop is situated in the delightful market town of Stone in Staffordshire. Our three-storey violin shop, which dates from 1820, offers customers fitting surroundings in which to view and try out instruments of all eras.

We have an extensive range of old and modern instruments spanning the baroque, classical and modern periods - one of the largest in the UK. Customers are welcome to try out instruments on the premises in one of several special rooms designed for this purpose.
